new cadmium(II) tartratoborates, namely, Cd5[(C4H2O6)2B]2(H2O)8·3H2O (1), K2Cd4[(C4H2O6)2B]2(H2O)2 (2), and
Li0.92K1.08Cd1.5[(C4H2O6)2B](H2O)2 (3), have been successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal
method. Compounds 1–3 belong to centric C2/c, acentric Pc, and
the polar C2, respectively. Through based on the
same hybrid borate–tartrate [(C4H2O6)2B]5– anions, they exhibit different
structures. The [(C4H2O6)2B]5– anion is composed of two tartrate anions and
a B(OH)4– unit. Compound 1 features a novel 3D network formed by 2D {Cd3[(C4H2O6)2B]2(H2O)2}4– anionic layers and [Cd2O10] dimers, forming tunnels of large 14-MRs which
are filled by the non-coordination water molecules. Compound 2 has a characteristic 3D network based on {Cd2[(C4H2O6)2B]}− units interlinked via carboxylate groups, forming tunnels of 11-MRs,
half of which stuffed with the K+ ions. Compound 3 features 2D {Cd4[(C4H2O6)4B]}3+ layers which are separated by
K/Li ions. Luminescent studies suggest that they emit blue light.
Compounds 2 and 3 display phase-matchable
second harmonic generation signs of about 3.2× and 1.5×
KH2PO4, respectively.
